Country Music Gift Basket
I have a friend who recently discovered country music. I'm not talking country music as it is today...I'm talking the twang and bluegrass roots country of the 80s and 90s! He blared Travis Tritt and Lori Morgan from his car stereo, bopping down the road. When he was at the office or home, you could hear Garth Brooks or Alan Jackson crooning in the background.
That said, this is the man who is impossible to shop for. He never shows emotion when he gets a gift. I found a box of old country cds at a garage sale and knew right away what I was going to do for his birthday present. I was able to puchse the box of cds for a song ($5.00). At another garage sale I found a stuffed bear that was dressed as a cowboy ($0.75). I headed over to Goodwill and found a nice basket ($1.00). Once I had all the components laid out on the table I went to work! Here is the end result...
This could easily be done with other genres of music. I know that cds are becoming obsolete nowadays but for this person, it was fantastic. I actually got a smile and a hug from him when he opened it!

You could also do a movie basket that would be darling and include a few boxes of candy or bags of unpopped microwave popcorn.
